Lev_27:5 And if [it be] from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

And the Hebrew word used to signify youth, {Ecc_11:10} signifieth blackness or darkness, to note, that youth is a dark and dangerous age. Few Macariuses to be found, who, for his gravity in youth, was surnamed ðáéäáñéïãåñùí , the old young man. {a}
{a} Niceph.
